The St-Labre 200 Inc. requires teams to build their own go-karts within 24 hours. Using supplied materials, teams are challenged to build go-karts from scratch on the first day and race them the next day in a fast-paced, nail biting 200 lap race on a quarter mile dirt track. The main race takes place on Saturday and has the entire crowd in suspense.
Registration usually happens March 1st at midnight and sells out quickly.
What started off as a competition between the Grenier brothers and friends has blown up into a provincial festival with over 50 participants and 100 spectators in the first year, to 120 participants and 1500 spectators 5 years later. “St-Labre 200 Inc. is all about getting people together and having a great time” said former committee member Lucien Grenier, “We can accomplish this all while raising money for many local organisations, charities and or causes.”
Join us in St-Labre, a hidden gem in south-east Manitoba, where you will witness this little community show you just how much heart it has. St-Labre 200 Inc. also includes many free activities for the whole family such as planned kids activities, bounce balloon castles, the world renown Rubber Boot Toss, bike races, live music and the best backyard fireworks display in rural Manitoba.
St-Labre 200 Speedway grounds has a lot of room for camping, so bring your tent, camper, RV or blanket and get set for a great weekend.
Some races are spent in the pits, and others on the track. This team has done both. This year, they plan on a solid build with minimal issues and a first place win.
The track needs to get set up for build and race day. Every year we start with a blank canvas, and with the help of volunteers we get the track and grounds ready. We have tasks for all skill levels.

Longtime friends, this team has registered for every edition of the 200. Last time they hoisted the cup was so long ago, they can’t even remember the year.
